veterans and adult student services 

Different experiences add up to different points of view. If you are a veteran or non-traditional student, your time in the service and your years away from classrooms and study may have left you with a unique outlook on college.

You are older than most students at Southern. You may have family responsibilities. You may have developed clear career goals. But even if you have not, you may approach college with more confidence and a firmer sense of purpose than you had right out of high school.

You will find that many of your concerns are exactly the same as those of your fellow students. You will also discover that your fellow students are a diverse group -- from 19-year-olds relishing the independence of college life to retirees seeking intellectual stimulation and involvement.

Southern is committed to meeting the needs of all its students. That's why it maintains an Office for Veterans/Adult Students. Established in the 1970s to accommodate the hundreds of Vietnam veterans flooding into college, the office is a source of information and a lively meeting place. Staffed by a counselor assisted by work-study students who are also veterans, the office provides counseling and academic advisement as well as assistance in dealing with the Veterans Administration.
